[time-nuts] Thermal insulation choice?

I am looking for a readily available (from Home Depot or other local
source) insulating material to use in a chassis that's housing a
sensitive OCXO. My goal is just to slow down any external thermal
transients so the oven loop has time to react gracefully.
I'm thinking of something in sheet form that I could glue to the inside
bottom and side of the metal chassis. The trimmed sheet sizes will each
probably end up being around 4 x 8 inches. I have enough clearance for
a thickness of a half inch or so. I'd like to avoid a bat material as
that would be hard to mount neatly.
Long lifetime (ie, not getting all crumbly after a few years) is
important as I don't expect this oscillator to get cold until I do.
Any suggestions of a material to look for?
Thanks,
John
